225 Victoria Park Ave, Toronto, ON CA Toronto Home

If you’d like to live in a great neighbourhood close to excellent parks such as lovely Kew Gardens at Lee and Queen, (a vast, open green area with a great playground, an old-fashioned-looking bandshell, a baseball diamond, a lawn bowling club, an open-air hockey rink and a snack bar) and a short distance to famous Beaches shopping, this lovely home could be the property you’re looking for!!!  The Beach is the city's only community not cut off from the waterfront by big buildings and highways and residents make the most of it. On any given day down at the Boardwalk, the green spaces and sand will be dotted with volleyball players, frolicking children, rollerbladers, cyclists, sun seekers, picnickers, strollers and people watchers. If you have a dog, there are two leash-free parks in the area.

Situated on the eastern edge of the ‘Upper Beaches’, this lovely two-bedroom semi is close to excellent schools, and excellent facilities at Ted Reeve Park with two skating arenas and three baseball fields!  Some of the best shopping in the city can be found along the Queen Street strip or Kingston Road. Queen Street is the most popular shopping destination for "tourists" to the area, and Kingston Road is home to very quaint home decor shops, neighbourhood pubs and restaurants, coffee houses, variety and health stores, new and used clothing shops and many, many more establishments. TTC is so handy, right across the street.

Enter into this home from the front porch, a great spot for relaxing and watching the neighbourhood or sharing a cup of tea with a neighbour. The main floor of this terrific home features a spacious open concept living room / dining room and gorgeous kitchen. The gleaming hardwood, tasteful decorating and large bright windows combine to absolutely make this home glow on the interior!

The striking, kitchen has loads of gorgeous cabinets and counter space with a double sink below the window and stainless steel fridge and stove. At the back, there is a terrific den with huge windows looking north and large sliding glass doors overlooking the wood deck and backyard. This would be a wonderful place to sit with a coffee, listening to the birds in the trees and relaxing before your busy day. It’s also a great spot for an exercise room or even a home office.

Walk out from here to the deck, and down the steps to the terrific fully fenced backyard. It’s a lovely private spot, with both sun and shade to enjoy, and nice landscaping with perennials, shrubs, trees and vines surrounding a nicely kept lawn. You could enjoy many a summer barbecue here.

Moving back inside and up the stairs, you’ll find two bright and cheery bedrooms.  The master bedroom at the front of the house is a nice size, with a large, sunny west-facing window and large closet along one wall. The rear bedroom faces east, overlooking the garden. The hardwood floors continue through this level in the hall and bedrooms.

In the middle is a fabulous treat! A wonderful extra-large spa-like bathroom! The four-piece bathroom has a claw-foot bathtub with chandelier for mood-lighting, a separate shower stall with glass door and a nice tiled floor.

The basement is unfinished but is quite large with high ceilings, above grade windows, a nice even concrete floor and some walls roughed in. It could easily be finished to provide lots of extra living space. The laundry area is down here and an added bonus is the  nicely done four-piece bathroom down here.
